UP 1601 |
| Description: |
UP 1601 in tailing elephant position behind her bigger sister shuffling between the sort and departure yards... maybe (on the yard description... I took a picture of the Bailey Yard layout picture, but, honestly, I shouldve taken more care because the close color in the key... that or tried to understand all the activity - even though a very kind retire UP employee upstairs in the enclosed part of the tower took the time to point and talk through it all... honestly? Overwhelming is an understatement, especially trying to grasp the numbers that are pouring forth as he points (I mean, one of the two hump towers is so tall, its also a pass-under for a tunnel so units can pass from one side of the tower/sort yard to the other uninterrupted... which if you follow a group of power during a shuffle, you periodically lose them (I believe Bailey Yard is over 8 miles long, so I guess not hard to imagine losing them - but they go under, loop around, and eventually even over an rail-over-rail over-pass, then disappear again behind more railcars... it would take a long time to fully appreciate the immense scales were talking about. |

UP 4280 - UP 1601 |
| Description: |
UP 4280 - UP 1601 in a more zoomed out shot to try and put it all into perspective: the near lower right is the diesel repair shed spurs (units in the first row listed above... but theyre way the heck off to the right - not just 90°, but off around to the other side of the observation platform) - the little HCLX 3848 is the start of the several rows of rental power and smaller UP power units; I believe departure tracks are next, then thru-lines with the mixed freight visible, receiving tracks back behind the two power units followed by the *west* (bound) hump tower dropping down into the sort bowl out of the frame to the right; departure tracks; finally a whole pile of westbound run-thru tracks not even visible up and off to the distant left... to the best of my guesses - but - this is only a very small fragment of the entire 8 mile length as theres all the *east* (bound, but ot the left/west of the frame) hump tower, yards, maintenance, etc. disappearing into the distant farmland. |

| Description: |
UP 1644 triplet currently trailing up the hump heading up and over to grab the first group to shove up on this east (bound) taller hump (65 feet high if I remember right); the distant rail over-pass is used to get from the middle (after the under pass below this hump in a tunnel) over to the north side of everything (and the westbound section of the yard). |

UP 1647 |
| Description: |
UP 1647 last shot of this pair during the slow approach to the tower (speaking of which - be ready to spend time along this little road if possible, although theres not much shoulder, which means my best bet was actively agreeing when the better-half offered to drive us into the Tower area while I was hanging and drooling out the window (and snapping pictures along the way). I benefitted from it being a Saturday morning while there was very little activity on the paved road.) |

UP Y3005 - UP Y3006 cow-calf |
| Description: |
UP Y3005 - UP Y3006 cow-calf / power-n-slug pair way off in the distance... initially I missed them (although they appeared as small smudges in the distance on previous pictures) until finally noticing them while tracking the re-registry power move. I didnt even know they still had any functional slugs in the USA, so I felt really lucky to see this pair (off in the distance working the westbound areas). |
